With a bit of luck, Scherox will even show up in his dazzling form after the successful fight! Do you need tips for the fight? Then you will find helpful hints for your defeat over Mega Scizor in Pokémon Go below in our counter guide!

Mega Scizor as a raid boss

Mega Scizor is dual-type Bug and Steel, which means the Pokémon has an insanely large weakness, namely attackers with Fire-type attacks. If you really want to smack the beetle on the head, be sure to check the weather in your Pokémon Go app at the top right of the overworld map. When the sun is shining or the sky is clear, Fire-type attacks do more damage! All other types are rather weak in terms of counter power, so you should definitely strengthen your fire attackers!

Mega Scizor will oppose you with 45,5403 CP and is therefore one of the stronger Mega Pokémon. So you should definitely team up with a few other trainers. With Mega Scizor making its first appearance during the 2022 Bug Crawl event and only for a week, finding a few companions shouldn’t be a problem.
